Description

Robinson Crusoe: An Authoritative Text, Contexts, Criticism

This comprehensive edition brings together six authorized editions published by Taylor in 1719 to create a faithful representation of Daniel Defoe's original text. Annotations and contextual materials provide assistance with obscure words and idioms, as well as biblical references and nautical terms.

Additional features include four contemporary accounts of marooned men, Defoe's autobiographical passages on the novel's allegorical foundation, and a comprehensive study of early opinions by prominent literary and political figures. A collection of fourteen essays presents a variety of perspectives on the novel, alongside a chronology of Defoe's life and work and an updated selected bibliography.
